@Floridafacelifter Only the finest proof Morgan's in existence, that's all! Hard to pick a fav, but I'll go with the perfect 1896 in the lowly grade of PF-69 Ultra Cam. Ha! Insane.
Frank Gasparro’s trifecta dual torch design use in three consecutive years (1960, 1961, and 1962) for three different US Mint medals.
-- President Eisenhower Appreciation silver medal
-- President Kennedy Inaugural bronze medal
-- General of the Army (5-star) MacArthur congressional gold medal
Some Reeded edge patterns. The top two are 1863 J-300 Reeded Edge patterns. The last is a new pickup as of this weekend. A much scarcer 1865 J-405, there are only 5 traced, with one locked away in a museum. Standard Copper Nickel thickness with a reeded edge.
How about a trio of 1863 w/L proof Indian Head Cents. All are very rare, much rarer than the 1864 L proofs. Struck later in the 1869-1871 time frame, these should actually be considered novodels. Since these were struck after the year that appears on the coin, these technically should not even be considered patterns, more so fantasy pieces.
Bronze - 8 known
Copper Nickel - maybe 6 known
Aluminum - 3 known

@Floridafacelifter is that last proof Morgan violet or blue around the rim? It looks like it has cool toning.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
You are correct- both obverse and reverse fields are a nice violet/purple

That's pretty cool, Bob!
I visited your Box of 20 and see your wonderful and colorful collection! Too bad the U.S. coins are sized so small in the PCGS book format.

Thanks @Catbert ! That is high praise coming from you - really enjoy your coins posted here and IG.
I wish the PCGS flip book worked better. I just haven't had the time to try and fight that battle....

At the time this photo was taken these were the only three 1957-D Lincoln's graded MS67BN, May 2020.
The reverses are flipped.......the one in the middle is correct.
